Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 706, 707, 708, 709, and 710) 

Chapter 706

It suddenly occurred to Sabrina, who was almost cornered by Melody, that the proprietress of Blue Moon Lounge had extraordinary abilities and was very close to the Swanson family.

This was evident from the usher’s attitude when she first entered the restaurant.

Melody attacked her, Mabel’s best friend, in Blue Moon Lounge. The proprietress of Blue Moon Lounge would definitely not let Melody off.

At the thought of this, Sabrina was no longer nervous.

She sneered at Melody and said, “You’re dead. This is Mabel’s territory. I’m Mabel’s friend. How dare you attack me? The proprietress of Blue Moon Lounge will definitely not let you off.”

Melody was stunned. She asked in amusement, “Mabel?” Sabrina merely thought that Melody was pretending to be calm and laughed arrogantly. “That’s right. You don’t know that, do you? The proprietress of Blue Moon Lounge is not to be trifled with. Before she’s alerted, I advise you to bow and apologize to me immediately and break your arms. Otherwise, I won’t let you off easily.”

Melody raised an eyebrow. “Bow and apologize? Break your arms? Very well. As long as you do that, I’ll consider today’s score settled and spare you this time.”

Sabrina furrowed her eyebrows immediately. “Are you deaf? I mean you should do that.”

Melody flexed her wrist. “Since you’re unwilling to do it, I’ll help you.”

She took a few steps forward and suddenly heard footsteps outside.

Moon had brought her people over.

Sabrina immediately recognized Moon who was walking

over. Moon had appeared on a few news interviews and Sabrina had a deep impression of Moon.

When Sabrina saw Moon coming over, Sabrina’s eyes lit up and she quickly ran towards Moon.

Moon had only brought her bodyguards upstairs after hearing the sounds of fighting upstairs.

The bodyguards guarding Blue Moon Lounge were not ordinary. Among every three bodyguards, there was a death warrior sent by Ken. Of course, their strength was not something ordinary bodyguards could compare to.

Moon saw Sabrina running towards her and immediately asked, “Miss, what happened upstairs?”

Sabrina quickly pinched her thigh, her eyes immediately turning red.

She pretended to be aggrieved and said, “Madam, you have to stand up for me. I’m Mabel’s friend. The woman inside has gone crazy. She suddenly hit my boyfriend and even seriously injured him.”

Moon was confused. “Mabel? Who is Mabel? And, a woman? Which woman?”

If she remembered correctly, there was only Melody on the second floor today. There were no other guests.

When Sabrina saw Moon’s confused look, she could not help but be stunned. “Don’t you know Mabel?”

Moon shook her head truthfully. “I’m sorry, I don’t know her. But since you’re a guest of Blue Moon Lounge, I’ll definitely stand up for you.”

Sabrina did not know what was going on and why Moon did not know Mabel. She clearly came in as Mabel’s best friend.

However, when Sabrina heard Moon say that she would stand up for her, she immediately threw all of this to the back of her mind. She pointed at the private room where Melody was and said, “She’s inside.”

Moon hurriedly looked in the direction Sabrina was pointing at and saw that she was pointing at the room where Melody was.

Moon immediately realized something and her gaze on Sabrina turned cold.

However, Sabrina did not notice Moon’s expression and said urgently, “Madam, not only did she seriously injure my people, but she also spoke rudely about you just now. You can’t let her off so easily.”

Moon raised her eyebrows and asked with a faint smile, How did she speak rudely about me?”

Sabrina lied, “I said this is your territory and told her not to go overboard, but she said that even if you stand in front of her, you have to bow to her.”

“What?” Moon laughed and looked at Sabrina with interest. Miss, I hate it when people lie to me. Are you sure you’re telling the truth?”

Despite feeling guilty, Sabrina forced herself to remain calm and said, “I’m telling the truth.”

Moon sneered and suddenly said, “Capture her.

In the next second, the death warrior behind Moon quickly pinned Sabrina to the ground.

Sabrina’s knees hurt and she sucked in a breath of cold air.

However, she could not be bothered about the pain. She turned her head and asked Moon in disbelief, “W-Why did you capture me?”

Moon’s face had completely turned cold. “Like I said, I hate liars.”

Sabrina shook her head quickly. “I’m really not lying.

Moon walked towards the private room with an indifferent expression.

Coincidentally, Melody pulled David out from under the table and walked out of the private room.

Melody and Moon met. Melody was the first to speak. “I’m sorry, Moon. I’ve caused you trouble.”

“This is no big deal.” Moon shook her head and quickly scanned the situation in the room. When she saw many people lying on the ground inside, she was immediately shocked. She quickly asked Melody with concern, “Are you injured?”

“No, they didn’t touch even a hair on my head.” As Melody spoke, she had already seen Moon’s bodyguard pinning Sabrina to the ground.

Sabrina was looking at Melody and Moon as if she had seen ghosts, her eyes filled with fear.

At this moment, Sabrina suddenly understood who the Miss Fox” the usher was talking about.

She thought, ‘Miss Fox isn’t Mabel at all, but Melody. But how is that possible? Melody is an ignorant fool who had been raised in the countryside since she was young. How could she be related to the proprietress of Blue Moon Lounge? Something must have gone wrong.’

Sabrina gritted her teeth and shouted, “Madam, have you been deceived by her? She’s Melody, an abandoned daughter who was raised by the Fox family in the countryside. She has been chased out by the Fox family now. Don’t be fooled by her.”

Moon was still carefully checking if Melody was injured. When she heard that, her gaze turned cold and she ordered, “Slap her dirty mouth until it’s swollen.”

“Yes.” The death warrior who had pinned Sabrina to the ground listened to Moon’s order and grabbed Sabrina’s collar, raising his hand to slap Sabrina’s mouth.

The death warrior’s strength was extraordinary. He had barely slapped Sabrina five times, but Sabrina’s mouth was already covered in blood. Half of Sabrina’s face was swollen like a balloon, and she could not even scream in pain.

When Melody saw this scene, there was no pity in her eyes.

She had already given Reece and Sabrina a chance. They were the ones who did not want the chance and insisted on coming upstairs to provoke her.

She was not a kind person, nor was she the pushover who could be bullied by anyone in her previous life.

If Moon did not know her or if Moon believed Sabrina’s words today, she would end up like Sabrina now. Hence, she would never sympathize with Sabrina.

Moreover, it was Reece who framed and blackmailed David in the first place.

“Enough.” Moon waved her hand and said in disgust, “Don’t let her blood dirty my floor. Throw her and her people out of Blue Moon Lounge.”

Chapter 707

“Yes.” The death warriors were very nimble. In a few minutes, they threw everyone out.

Sabrina was the first to be thrown out.

The people around Sabrina all looked at her with gossipy or mocking eyes, but she no longer cared about her pride. She even felt relieved as if she had just escaped death.

Just now, she really thought that she was going to be beaten to death.

“Miss Webb?” The two bodyguards guarding outside Blue Moon Lounge did not recognize Sabrina at first. It was not until Reece’s wheelchair was thrown out that they went up to her in shock.

When they confirmed that the girl whose face was swollen like a balloon was Sabrina, the two of them were shocked and rushed over to bring her into the car.

It was not until Sabrina could no longer see Blue Moon Lounge that she recovered from the pain, her eyes filled with hatred. “Melody, I want you to wish you were dead.” Sabrina wanted to curse out loud, but when she opened her mouth, blood started to flow non-stop. It was so painful that she could only try her best to control herself from showing any expression, in case it affected her wound.

Sabrina had never been beaten up in her life. She had been pampered since she was young, but today, her mouth had been slapped and she had even thoroughly embarrassed herself.

She couldn’t let go of this humiliation. She would not let Melody and the Fox family off.

Yet, it didn’t occur to Sabrina that if she had not listened to Reece’s nonsense and had the intention to kill Melody from the beginning, and then maliciously defamed Melody in front of Moon, she would not have become so miserable.

However, Sabrina clearly did not understand this logic.Blue Moon Lounge, second floor.

Melody looked at the mess in the private room and felt guilty again. “I’m really sorry, Moon. If I had known that they would come looking for revenge so quickly, I wouldn’t have come to eat at your place. How about this? Give me a price for these broken things, and I’ll compensate you double.” Moon frowned unhappily. “What are you talking about? Am I the kind of person who lacks money?”

As Moon spoke, she suddenly started acting again and said with a sad expression, “Didn’t I tell you that I’m terminally ill? It’s useless to keep the money. As long as you’ re fine with Ken, I’ll do anything.”

Melody was moved. She held Moon’s hand and said, “Moon, tell me. What terminal illness do you have? Even if I don’t have the ability to treat it, I know a divine doctor. His medical skills are above mine. Perhaps there’s a way.”

Moon quickly retracted her hand guiltily and said, “Forget it, forget it. I don’t want to torture myself anymore. I’ll be very satisfied if I can live the rest of my life happily like this.” Melody said, “But-“

Moon interrupted her and said, “Don’t worry about me first. I think that woman’s identity is not ordinary. Hurry up and go back first, lest she send people to find trouble with you again. Also, your colleague seems to be quite frightened. Take him back to calm down.”

Melody subconsciously looked at David. When she saw that David looked pale, she could only nod. “Then I’ll talk to you about your illness another day.”

“Alright, alright, alright. Go now.” Moon pushed Melody out anxiously, afraid that Melody would continue to ask about her illness.

After sending Melody off, Moon heaved a sigh of relief.

It seemed that there were some things that one could not lie about. Once one lied for the first time, one would have to worry about being exposed every day.

If Moon had known this would happen, she would not have said that she was sick.

On the way back, David almost cried out of guilt. “Miss Fox, I seem to have caused you a lot of trouble this time. Please beat me up. I might feel better if you beat me up.”

Melody pursed her lips and said, “I’ve already said that this is not a big deal. Don’t say such things again in the future. However, try to go out less these few days. Don’t look for Nana either. Tell her clearly over the phone first. I’m afraid that once you show your face, Sabrina’s people will target you again.”

Melody was not worried that Sabrina would seek revenge on her again. However, David did not have the ability to protect himself, so he had to be careful at all times.

David nodded guiltily. “I understand. I will stay in the dormitory for the next two days. You have to be careful too.”

Melody said, “I know. Don’t worry about me.”

Not long after sending David out, Melody received a call from Ken.

She thought that Ken was asking about Sabrina’s matter, but she did not expect Ken’s serious voice to come from the phone. “Regina is dead.”

Melody’s eyes widened. “What? How did she die? When did this happen? Wasn’t she locked up in the Special Task Force?”

She asked a series of questions and Ken patiently answered them one by one. “It happened about half an hour ago. My people couldn’t get into the Special Task Force, so I just received the news. As for the cause of death, the Special Task Force hasn’t found out yet. But they know that she suddenly bled from all seven orifices. By the time they wanted to send her to the hospital, her heart had stopped beating. Now, they’re preparing to do an autopsy.” Melody subconsciously clenched her fists.

With Regina dead, it would be difficult to implicate Ulric in the incident involving malicious doctors.

Now, Ulric is only left with one charge, which is that he might be related to Wendell’s death. With Ulric’s ability, it wouldn’t be difficult to clear his name.

Ken was silent for two seconds before he continued, “My men found out that more than half an hour ago, Jennie left the house and went in the direction of the Special Task Force. However, I don’t know what tricks she used. The best tracker I sent over still lost her. But I suspect that…. Regina was poisoned by her.”

Melody frowned. “But Regina is her daughter. How could she bear to do that?”

As soon as Melody finished speaking, she suddenly remembered the poisonous powder she found last night. She looked up and gripped her phone tightly. “But you might be right. Last night, Jennie sneaked back to the manor to retrieve the bag of poison. It seems that the bag of poison was really not used on you and me but on Regina.”

Ken asked, “Is that really poison? Have you analyzed the ingredients?”

“Yes,” Melody explained the toxicity to Ken and everything made sense. “From the looks of it, even an autopsy wouldn’ t be able to detect the composition of the poison.”

On the other end, Ken sighed and said, “When Ulric is released, we might be in even more danger than we are now.”

“You’re right. But maybe we still have a chance.”

“How so?”

“Even a vicious tiger won’t harm its young, yet Jennie killed her own daughter. I’m afraid the benefits that Ulric promised Jennie were very tempting to her. If I’m not wrong, Ulric probably promised Jennie to help her expand the strength of the malicious doctors.”

On the other end of the line, Ken’s gaze turned cold. He understood what Melody meant.

If Ulric helped Jennie strengthen the malicious doctors’ faction, the malicious doctors’ power would become his.

This was both a blessing and a curse. It was dangerous for them, but they also had a chance to find evidence that Ulric had dealings with the malicious doctors.

Chapter 708

This was like a double-edged sword. Until the end, no one knew who the true winner would be.

Ken pondered for a moment and said, “Ulric will probably be released soon. I’ll send a few more death warriors to stay by your side and protect you at all times.”

“Okay.” Melody did not refuse. From the looks of it, it was impossible for her to fight alone. She indeed needed the power of death warriors.

When Ken heard that she agreed, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Ken asked, “Where are you now? I heard from Moon that Sabrina went to Blue Moon Lounge to find trouble with you.” Melody replied, “I’m fine now. I just sent David home. I’m going to look for Wilmot to take over Silk Beauty Cosmetics.” At the mention of Wilmot, Ken’s voice changed slightly.” When? I’ll accompany you.”

“Aren’t you busy? There’s no need to come over. I’ll be back to the manor soon.”

Ken was silent for a few seconds before he said, “Then get Spencer to follow you closely. If Sabrina causes trouble for you again, I’ll directly cancel their collaboration with the Swanson Group.”

“Okay.” Melody hung up and said to Spencer, “Go to Icy Clear Cosmetics.”

Spencer replied, “Yes.”

About an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of Icy Clear Cosmetics.

Melody did not go in alone. Instead, after Spencer parked the car, the two of them entered Icy Clear Cosmetics’s building.

In times of emergency, Melody had to abandon the previous notion that she could handle everything alone.

She only had one life, but God had given her a chance to be reborn. She had to cherish it even more.

Melody also gradually discovered that when she realized she had feelings for Ken, she cherished her life more than before.

As soon as Melody and Spencer entered, the receptionist immediately welcomed them with a smile. “Miss Fox? Why are you free to come over today?”

“Yes.” Melody nodded and asked, “Is Wilmot here?”

“Mr. Sherman is here. I’ll take you upstairs.”

“Thanks a lot.”

“It’s my duty.” The receptionist’s attitude was extremely polite.

Melody won the bet for Icy Clear Cosmetics. She was like the benefactor of all the employees in Icy Clear Cosmetics. She saved them from suddenly losing their jobs, so all the employees in the company were grateful to her.

However, just as Melody was about to follow the receptionist, a woman stepped forward and stopped Melody.

Melody looked at the unfamiliar woman in front of her in confusion and asked, “Who are you?”

However, the woman only glanced at her and turned her head away disdainfully. She turned around and questioned the receptionist who was leading the way, “Why can she go upstairs without an appointment, but I can’t? I already said that I know Wilmot. We even had dinner together yesterday.” The receptionist frowned and said, “You’re different. Please don’t interfere with my work. Otherwise, I’ll have to call security to invite you out.”

The woman immediately became even more dissatisfied. What’s different about us? Is it because she’s uglier than me?”

As the woman spoke, her sarcastic eyes swept towards Melody again. When the woman saw that nothing on Melody was branded, the disdain in her eyes intensified. The innocent Melody was speechless.

The woman spoke again. “In short, either you let me go upstairs too, or she can forget about going upstairs.”

The receptionist was also furious. “You’re being unreasonable. Miss Fox must have something serious to discuss with Mr. Sherman. If you delay Mr. Sherman’s business-“

“Pfft!” The woman spat on the ground without listening to the receptionist. “What business can a person like her have? She must be trying to seduce Wilmot. Why don’t you look in the mirror and see what you look like? You want to snatch my man? Dream on.”

The corners of Melody’s mouth twitched. She could not be bothered to argue with such a person here. She directly called Wilmot.

Wilmot answered almost instantly. He sounded pleasantly surprised. “Melody?”

Melody sighed and went straight to the point. “I’m downstairs in your company and I’m in some trouble. Do you have time to come downstairs and pick me up?”

Wilmot bluntly said, “I’ll be right there.” Then, he hurriedly hung up the phone and said to the higher-ups in the meeting room, “I have something to do and have to go outside for a while. You guys continue.”

With that, Wilmot stood up and left the meeting room, leaving the higher-ups staring at each other.

A senior executive couldn’t help but ask, “Isn’t today’s preparatory meeting for the new product launch very important? What can be more important than the meeting?”

A higher-up beside him said in a low voice, “Haven’t you heard of the news? I heard that Mr. Sherman went on a blind date yesterday. Moreover, the voice on the phone sounded like a woman. Perhaps he has gone to find his blind date.”

“Oh? Is Mr. Sherman finally getting married again? This is a joyous occasion.”

“That’s right. When he gets married, he might even give us a few days off.”

The meeting room was filled with joy.

However, at this moment, the atmosphere in the lobby downstairs was extremely tense.

When the woman heard that Melody had actually called Wilmot, her eyes were like venomous snakes as she glared at Melody and questioned her, “Where did you get Wilmot’s number?”

“This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you.”

Melody smiled. She did not have a good impression of this woman.

She had just heard from the receptionist that this was Wilmot’s blind date.

Although Wilmot’s choice had nothing to do with her, she was not at ease letting such a person be Shane’s stepmother.

However, when the woman saw Melody’s attitude, she immediately flew into a rage. “I’ll be Wilmot’s wife in the future. How is that unrelated to me? Temptress! Delete his phone number immediately.”

Melody had never seen such a rude and unreasonable person. She was clearly pretty, but her words were so vulgar.

Melody said, “I’m sorry, that’s impossible.”

“Bitch, you…” The woman was about to curse when she suddenly saw Wilmot walk out of the elevator from the corner of her eye.

She immediately changed her expression and revealed an aggrieved expression. She took a few steps forward to welcome Wilmot. “Wilmot, that woman bullied me.”

Wilmot looked at the woman in front of him in surprise.” Miss Lynch? Why are you here?”

Stella Lynch’s eyes were red as she said aggrievedly, “I came to see you, but your company’s receptionist refused to let me go upstairs. Instead, she let that woman who bullied me go upstairs.” Stella pointed at Melody.

Melody was even more speechless. She was not afraid that Wilmot would misunderstand her. She took a few steps forward and said, “It’s not what she said. The receptionist is just following the rules.”

Stella stomped her foot and tugged at the hem of Wilmot’s shirt. “Wilmot, look. She’s deliberately distorting the truth to smear my reputation.”

Wilmot frowned. “Melody isn’t the kind of person you think she is. You must have misunderstood. I’m very busy today. You should go back.”

Stella’s eyes widened in surprise. “Would you rather believe her than me? I’m afraid Mrs. Sherman won’t be happy if she finds out, will she?”

Wilmot’s expression changed slightly. He said in a low voice, “Miss Lynch, this is the company, not a place for you to mess around.”

As he spoke, he called for the security guard. “Invite Miss Lynch out.”

Chapter 709

The security guards were shocked by Stella’s arrogance.

They thought Stella was related to Wilmot. However, they immediately walked forward and forcefully dragged Stella out when they heard Wilmot’s words.

“Let go of me! Don’t touch me!” Stella shouted.

Stella struggled with all her might, but the security guards did not care. Since Wilmot had spoken, they had no reason to let Stella cause trouble in the company’s lobby.

Soon, Stella’s voice disappeared from the company, and the lobby finally returned to normal.

Wilmot retracted his gaze and looked at Melody awkwardly. “Are you alright?”

Melody shook her head.

“It looks like I came at the wrong time today. But… what’s the relationship between you and Miss Lynch?”

Wilmot sighed and said, “Let’s go up and talk. This is not the place to talk.”

Melody responded and followed Wilmot to the office on the top floor.

To Melody’s surprise, Wilmot’s office was like a warehouse. It was filled with all kinds of fashion magazines and beauty magazines, as well as various opened or unopened cosmetics. It was a big office, but there were only a few square feet to step on.

“I’m sorry. My office is a little messy. Feel free to sit.”

Melody nodded and pulled out a chair from a corner to sit down.

Wilmot quickly poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Melody. He did not hide anything and said, “The company is busy with the latest skincare products. I have limited time to look after Shane, so I called my mother to help me.” “Hmm…” Melody listened patiently.

“My mother lives in Insterimond all year round. She brought her neighbor, Miss Lynch, along on this trip. I only met Miss Lynch yesterday.”

“Your mother wants to set you up with Miss Lynch?”

Yolanda scratched his neck and nodded awkwardly. “That’s right.”

Melody nodded in understanding and asked, “Then, what do you think?”

Wilmot lowered his head and said with a complicated expression, “My mother said she’s old and can’t always be by Shane’s side to take care of him. I might as well find a wife to look after Shane instead of neglecting Shane’s school and meals like I do now. Moreover, Miss Lynch is also divorced. Her child was awarded to her ex-husband, and she has no plan to have another child. I don’t have to worry she’ll mistreat Shane…”

When Melody heard that, she could not help but interrupt Wilmot. “I mean your thoughts. Putting aside Shane, your thoughts about Miss Lynch.”

Wilmot’s eyes were blank for a moment.

Melody couldn’t help but ask the question. “A long marriage must be based on two people having feelings for each other. If you only want to find someone to look after Shane, you might as well find a few more nannies instead of a wife. I don’t think Shane will approve of you sacrificing your marriage for him if he knows what you are thinking. Moreover, this is unfair to Miss Lynch.”

Wilmot pursed his lips and said, “I’ve considered all the problems you mentioned. But Miss Lynch… You saw her just now. She’s really… indescribable.”

Melody spread her hands and said, “I don’t have any opinions about her. The final decision is still up to you. But forgive me for being blunt. With her personality, even if she doesn’t treat Shane harshly, her help to Shane’s personality later might not be beneficial. Of course, if you like her after you get along with her for a long time in the future, forget what I said.”

“I know what you mean. You’re doing this for Shane’s sake.

By the way, are you getting along with Mr. Swanson?” Melody stopped drinking coffee and said vaguely, “It’s alright. He’s not a bad person, and he’s not as cruel as everyone thinks. On the contrary, he treats me quite well.” The light in Wilmot’s eyes instantly dimmed.

However, he smiled soon and asked, “What brings you here today?”

“Didn’t I always ask you to manage Silk Beauty Cosmetics? I know a friend now. He’s an expert in managing businesses. He’s professional and reliable. I want to hand Silk Beauty Cosmetics to him to manage so that it won’t take up your time.”

“No problem, of course… I’ll send all the information about Silk Beauty to your email later.”

“Okay! Thank you for taking care of it for me for so long. I’ ve troubled you.”

Wilmot frowned. “Melody, we don’t need to say thanks between us. It makes us seem distant.”

“I know… but I still want to thank you.”

Wilmot could not help but smile. “Alright, I accept.”

The atmosphere gradually became relaxed as Melody and Wilmot chatted about Shane.

Melody suddenly thought of Zara and quickly requested Wilmot.

“The remuneration is negotiable. Name your price. I don’t know if you have time. If you don’t…”

Wilmot interrupted her and asked, “When is the shooting of the variety show?”

“Next month.”

“That’s about twenty days away. We’ll have our new series

on the market by then. I should have time.”

“I will inform you of the specific time then.”

“Okay.”

Number Spencer, standing behind Melody, could not help but feel speechless.

He had heard of Wilmot’s name although he knew nothing about makeup.

Wilmot was an internationally renowned makeup artist and stylist. It was hard for others to ask for his help once, but Melody actually made him agree with just a few words.

It seemed that Spencer’s understanding of Melody was still too little.

For example, Spencer went to the bathroom because of a sudden stomachache at Blue Moon Lounge today. When he returned, he saw a group of people sprawled on the ground. Melody’s skills were not inferior to his, judging by their injuries.

Spencer could not help but be curious, ‘Who on earth is Miss Fox? Is she just the daughter of the Fox family raised in the countryside like the rumors said?’

However, Spencer did not continue to think about it. The death warriors did not need to think about that. They only needed to be loyal to their master.

Since Ken had assigned him to Melody, Melody was his master.

*****

Melody said goodbye to Wilmot and walked to the door, only to find that Stella was still cursing at the door.

Upon seeing Melody come out, Stella instantly became more energetic.

“Bitch! You seduced my fiancé. Don’t you have any shame?” Melody began to worry for Wilmot.

‘If he marries such a woman, he will probably be doomed… Moreover, Wilmota is a nice guy. He will not divorce Stella over such a small matter. With his personality, he will probably keep putting up with her. If that happens, it will be troublesome. I do not know why Linda will take a fancy to Stella and let her marry Wilmot,’ thought Melody.

Melody turned a blind eye and continued to walk out.

However, Stella did not give up. She took a few steps forward and blocked Melody’s path.

Chapter 710

Melody was running out of patience. “Get out of my way,” she said, squinting coldly.

Stella was shocked by her gaze but quickly became even more furious.

“Get out of your way?” said Stella. “Who do you think you are? Do you think I’ll get out of your way just because you tell me so? Do you know who I am? How dare you speak to me like that!”

“I have no interest in who you are. If you don’t get out of my way on the count of three, I promise you’ll regret it.”

Number Spencer raised his chest cooperatively with a fierce look.

Although Spencer was thin, he was tall. He looked like a mountain standing in front of Stella, who was relatively short. His murderous aura made him appear even more difficult to deal with.

Stella’s heart tightened. She gritted her teeth and said, “I wouldn’t have let you off the hook if I had brought my bodyguard today. Tell me your name if you have the guts!”

“My name is Melody Fox. Can you get out of my way now?”

Stella let out a cold snort.

“Melody Fox? Great. I remember you!”

Then Stella deliberately bumped into Melody’s shoulder and ran into a sports car by the roadside. She stepped on the accelerator and sped away.

“Miss Fox, are you alright?” Spencer quickly asked Melody.

Melody rubbed her sore shoulder and shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Spencer heaved a sigh of relief. He did not expect Stella to be so rude.

He could not help but remind Melody, “Miss Fox, you shouldn’t have told her your name just now. Someone like her will find an opportunity to make a scene at you again.”

“It wouldn’t be such a bad thing if she did come to me.”

Perhaps Melody could use the opportunity to let Linda see that Stella was not the right woman for Wilmot. In that way, Melody could repay Wilmot’s kindness.

Spencer did not understand what Melody meant but dared not to ask further. He quickly opened the car door and let Melody sit in.

“Miss Fox, where are we going next?”

Melody was just about to say she was going to the manor when she got a call from Russell.

Looking at Russell’s name, Melody felt that the more she looked at it, the more unfamiliar it became. She was even more unfamiliar with him if it was the case for his name.

In her world, Russell was already a stranger when Russell signed the agreement to sever the parent-child relationship.

‘However, why is Russell looking for me?’ thought Melody.

Melody hesitated before picking up the call.

“What is it?” She sounded as if she was talking to a stranger.

Russell was angered by her attitude on the other end of the line.

“Is that how you talk to me?”

Melody’s expression did not change at all. She said indifferently, “I’ll hang up if you have nothing else.”

“Don’t…” Russell panicked on the other end of the line. He quickly softened his tone and said, “Come to First Hospital now. I’m in the VIP ward on the ninth floor of the Inpatient Department.”

“Are you sick?” asked Melody, stunned.

Russell stuttered. Finally, he clicked his tongue and said, “Anyway, come over quickly! I’ll give you half an hour.”

Russell had cut off the call before Melody could speak.

Her call was on speaker. Spencer, who was in the driver’s seat, couldn’t help but turn around and ask, “Miss Fox, are you going to First Hospital?”

Melody hesitated and said, “Let’s go there.”

She did not want to push Russell too far before he officially entered her trap.

‘If something happens to Russell, his assets will fall into Mabel’s hands first, which will cause a lot of trouble.

Thinking of that, Melody urged, “Drive faster.”

“Yes!”

Inpatient Department, First Hospital.

After hanging up, Russell turned around and returned to the ward. He immediately put on a flattering smile and said to the angry couple by the bed, “Mr. Webb, Mrs. Webb, please calm down. She’ll be here soon.”

“It better be!” Trisha Webb gritted her teeth and said, “Sabrina is the apple in my eyes. Melody, your daughter, dares to hit her. She has to be prepared to bear the wrath of the Webb family!”

Sabrina wanted to scold as well on the bed, but her mouth was smashed, and her face was bandaged. She could not make a sound, leaving only her eyes glaring at Russell.

Russell quickly apologized. “It’s all my daughter’s fault. She’ll soon come over to apologize to Sabrina, your daughter.

As Russell spoke, he changed the topic and said, “But… did Melody hit Sabrina? Is there a misunderstanding?

Although Melody was arrogant, Russell knew fully well that Melody was not a heinous person. If Sabrina hadn’t done something that annoyed Melody, Melody would never have taken the initiative to attack Sabrina.

Pete Webb, the chairman, snorted coldly and questioned with a livid expression, “Misunderstanding? Are you saying we wronged Melody? Or did we deliberately slap Sabrina’s face like this to teach your daughter a lesson?”

Russell quickly waved his hands. “No, of course not. I was wondering… if you might have gotten the wrong person?”

“Enough!” Pete interrupted Russell coldly. “I think you just want to side with your daughter. Since that’s the case, the Webb Group will no longer provide any fabric to the Justalion Group.”

“Don’t…” Russell’s heart tightened. He quickly tried to salvage the situation. “Melody has long since the father- daughter relationship with me. It’s because she’s usually too naughty that I kicked her out of the home. But don’t worry. I’ll teach her a lesson on your behalf when she comes. Please don’t be mad, or you’ll hurt yourself.”

The Webb Group was in the fabric business. Every year, the Justalion Group needed the Webb Group to provide a large amount of fabric to make clothes.

The fabrics of the Webb Group were well-known in the industry for their high quality and low price. Without the Webb Group’s fabric, the Justalion Group would have to significantly raise the cost of making ready-to-wear clothing. Russell could not afford to offend the Webb family.

The more Russell apologized, the angrier he became.

‘Melody, the damned jinx. You had cut ties with me but still harm me. You do live up to the title of being a jinx! If I had known this would happen, I would have drowned you when you were born!’ thought Russell.

Pete observed Russell’s expression. Seeing that Russell did not intend to side with Melody, his awful expression eased a little.

Soon, the footsteps sounded in the corridor.

“Excuse me, is Russell Fox in this ward?”

Russell immediately recognized Melody’s voice. He quickly walked out to greet Melody. “I’m here! Come over!”

Melody sized Russell up as she walked toward him.

Melody slowly frowned when she saw Russell was in good spirits, and there was no obvious injury on his body.

“You’re not sick?”

“Damn it! Do you want me to get sick?” Russell scolded.

Melody was already used to it. She asked indifferently, “Then why did you ask me to come here?”

Her gaze swept into the ward as she spoke.

Melody understood everything when she saw Sabrina lying on the bed with the bandages all over her face.
